A MUST READ! - By: Pandora, 15 Apr 2008 
This book is still as good for today, as when it was first written! Dr Weekes KNOWS what you are going through - & seems to be the only person throughout my 40 years of suffering & failed therapies, who does. Most importantly, she clearly shows you the way forward. While some may or may not be relevant to you, there is so much of her description that brings you to tears of relief that your symptoms are 'normal' & you CAN recover. Whether you have mild fatigue... or serious breakdown, please read her works & your subsequent understanding, will be your most powerful weapon. Good luck!
fantastic book - By: T.G, 08 Apr 2008 Buy this book if you suffer with any form of anxiety! I have read this book many times & found it to be invaluable. The book helps you to understand why you are feeling the way you do. It also helps to know that what you are experiencing is being felt by many people & you are not "going mad". If you buy one book on anxiety buy this one!
I can't recommend this book enough - By: , 21 Feb 2002 For six months I struggled with panic disorder. I didn't understand what my body was doing to me. I though that I was going completely mad. As well as counselling & taking anti-depressants I read as much as I could on the subject to try & understand what I was going through.
Eventually I came across this book by Dr Weekes. She explained clearly that every physical sensation I was experiencing was due to my oversensitized nerves. How my panic/anxiety attacks were not something that my body was just doing for no reason at all, but that by changing my reaction to them I could feel that I wasn'tin the grips of something uncontrollable.
To understand why my head felt spacy, why my arms would tingle, why my heart would race were the most helpful pieces of advice I had been given. To really understand that I wasn't going to die, collapse or go mad helped with the fear - fear cycle & this was the first step to my recovery
This book helps you to 'own' your anxiety. Dr Weekes shares many helpful case studies & the book is full of practical advice to help you though those awful feelings. She really makes you feel that you are not on your own, destined to a life of anxiety or pill popping.
There is no overnight cure, but please try this book. You CAN take control & given time you WILL get through this.
An excellent book, well worth the money - By: , 25 Feb 2001 I have only recently started to read this book, but, having suffered from anxiety for some years am already beginning to see results. Dr. Weekes explains the reasons behind the problems with such straight-forwardness & I can now see how I have been previously been making myself worse when I thought I was doing the right things! I really recommend getting this book ~ what's a few pound when it can change your life!
